Aren’t they responsible for declining membership? Aren’t they as much a part of the problem as the management of the auto industry? Why isn’t the SEIU calling for union heads as well?

Of course I ask that facetiously. Obviously we’re now going to hear every whiner and complainer in the world will demand the government fire their boss. Hey, the precedent has been set with one of the worst decisions I’ve seen in a while. Now we begin to see the results of such a blatantly dumb move.

Ah, soon though the media will remind everyone that the AIG guys WEREN’T punished by the government and the great plan to punish them was never completed. Yes, the media will remind us all of that and outrage will grow and…

Here is the perfect example of class warfare. Well, not actually class warfare, but using class envy and common ‘boss is bad’ gripes to bang the drums of fascism.
Thing is, the old boss is gone, and you can only use this ruse one time. When GM goes belly up, or has to reduce pay, or stop benefits, the One will be on the hook. He will try to get off by blaming Bush, Cheney & Co, but I don’t think it will work.
The union boss, Gettelfinger, has not suffered one bit from this mess, and he [and his predecessors] was at least 1/2 the cause.
Putting it in other words, the union wants to keep their above average pay jobs and gold-plated benefits package at the cost of the rest of us. Scruem.
